This dataset is a summary of hospital inpatient discharges from every hospital including Article 28 facilities; Ambulatory Surgery and Emergency Department visits, from the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS). The data is rolled up by patient county of residence. This dataset was modified in September 2013 to be in sync with the release of the Hospital Inpatient Discharges (SPARCS De- Identified) datasets. Please refer to the data dictionary for information on the current data available.
The SPARCS data has been divided into two distinct datasets, Hospital Discharges by Patient County of Residence and Hospital Discharges by Facility to preserve the confidentiality of identifiable individual information.
This dataset does not include facility names.

This is one of two datasets that contain observed and expected rates for Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention Quality Indicators – Adult (AHRQ PQI) beginning in 2009. This dataset is at the county level. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs) are a set of population based measures that can be used with hospital inpatient discharge data to identify ambulatory care sensitive conditions. These are conditions where 1) the need for hospitalization is potentially preventable with appropriate outpatient care, or 2) conditions that could be less severe if treated early and appropriately. All PQIs apply only to adult populations (over the age of 18 years). The rates were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient data and Claritas population information. For more information, check out: http://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/sparcs/ or go to the "About" tab.
The observed rates and expected rates for each AHRQ PQI is presented by either resident county (including a statewide total) or resident zip code (including a statewide total).

The Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR) collects weight status category data (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese, based on BMI-for-age percentile) at school entry (pre-kindergarten or kindergarten) and in grades 2, 4, 7 and 10 for students attending all public schools outside of the five boroughs of New York City.
Because of restrictions in reporting due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) there was wide variation in how much of the student population was represented in the data schools submitted during 2008-2010. Therefore the percentage of the student population represented in the county-level estimates varies from county to county. This limits researchers' ability to draw absolute conclusions about observed differences in student weight status among counties.

The Department of Health requires nursing homes to complete electronic filing of each facility's licensed nursing home beds and availability by bed category on a weekly basis. All nursing homes are requested to submit their Weekly Bed Census between Wednesday and Friday of each week, based on the census at 12:00 AM on Wednesday night.
The Nursing Home Census- Historic data is the most comprehensive nursing home data available and is suitable for trending.
Available Bed and Occupancy information is self-reported, and is not audited by the NYSDOH.

The DOH Radon Program contracts with a radon testing laboratory to provide short-term charcoal radon test kits, radon test kit analysis and results to residents. The contract laboratory provides the radon test results to the individual home owner and the DOH Radon Program. All testing data is entered into our database. From this database, we are able to create radon prevalence maps, design special outreach activities and campaigns, and track the location in the home where the detector was placed.
The radon test results obtained from this database may not be reflective of all radon tests completed in New York State. There are approximately 30,000-40,000 radon tests completed each year in New York State that are not purchased through the NYSDOH Radon Program. These tests are completed by resident home owners, inspectors, schools, etc. across the state. A map by town is currently not available, but users can view a map by county. The county map is Radon Test Results By County: Beginning 1987 and can be accessed from the main catalog.

This featured Application Programming Interface (API) page serves as a reference for developers who are building tools that interact with the data on Health Data NY. The page provides examples on how to retrieve data from each of the fields within the dataset. A description of each field is also provided. This specific API page is for the Food Service Establishment Inspections: Beginning 2005 (ACTIVE) dataset. The data includes the name and location of active food service establishments and the violations that were found at the time of the inspection. Active food service establishments include only establishments that are currently operating. This dataset excludes inspections conducted in New York City (http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/rii/index.shtml), Suffolk County (http://apps.suffolkcountyny.gov/health/Restaurant/intro.html) and Erie County. Inspections are a “snapshot” in time and are not always reflective of the day-to-day operations and overall condition of an establishment. Occasionally, remediation may not appear until the following month due to the timing of the updates. Update frequencies and availability of historical inspection data may vary from county to county. Some counties provide this information on their own websites and information found there may be updated more frequently. This dataset is refreshed on a monthly basis. The inspection data contained in this dataset was not collected in a manner intended for use as a restaurant grading system, and should not be construed or interpreted as such. Any use of this data to develop a restaurant grading system is not supported or endorsed by the New York State Department of Health. This data set is available at: https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Food-Service-Establishment-Inspections-Beginning-2/2hcc-shji.

This column chart presents the number of cardiac procedures performed in each region of New York State. Region is defined according to the geographic location of the hospital performing the procedure. The default view presents the number of PCIs and number of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries performed in each region in NYS in 2010. Using the Filter Tab you may select different procedures, or regions. It is important to note that Emergency PCI and Valve Surgery are reported only in 3-year increments. Comparing the number of procedures reported during a 3-year time period to those reported in a single year (e.g. CABG to Valve or Non-Emergency PCI to Emergency PCI) may lead to incorrect conclusions concerning procedural volume.

This column chart presents the in-hospital / 30-day risk adjusted mortality rate (RAMR) for hospitals performing PCI and cardiac surgery compared to the New York State mortality rate. RAMRs that are significantly higher than the Statewide rate (i.e. more deaths than expected based on the pre-procedure condition of the patients) are represented by a red bar. RAMRs that are significantly lower than the Statewide rate (i.e. fewer deaths than expected based on the pre-procedure condition of the patients) are represented by a green bar. RAMRs that are not significantly different from the statewide rate are represented by a blue bar. The NYS rate is presented by a yellow bar. Statistical significance is determined based on a 95% confidence interval.
The default view presents RAMR for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery). You may select other procedures under the Filter tab. The default view presents data for all hospitals in NYS. You may select specific hospitals or regions under the Filter tab.

This dataset contains the number of cases, number of in hospital/30 day deaths, observed, expected and risk- adjusted mortality rates for Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI) by cardiologist. Physician information is presented for each physician who a) performed 200 or more procedures during the three year analysis and/or b) performed at least one PCI in each of the three years. The results for physicians not meeting the above criteria are grouped together and reported as “All others” in the hospital in which the procedures are performed. Regions represent where the hospitals are located. The initial Health Data NY dataset includes patients discharged between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2010. Analyses of risk-adjusted mortality rates and associated risk factors are provided for the three-year period from 2008 through 2010. Analyses of all cases and non-emergency cases (which represent the majority of procedures) are included. Subsequent year reports data will be appended to this dataset.

The New York National Comparison Adult Tobacco Survey (NY NATS) was developed by the New York Tobacco Control Program (NY TCP) in partnership with Research Triangle Institute. Similar to the NY Adult Tobacco Survey, the NY NATS is administered to a nationwide sample of the non-institutionalized adult population, aged 18 years or older. Since the data are used as a comparison sample, the NY NATS represent the nation minus New York State.

The primary purpose for the Provider Network Data System is to collect data needed to evaluate the provider networks including physicians, hospitals, labs, home health agencies, durable medical equipment providers, etc., for all types of Managed Care plans in New York State, including HIV Special Need Plans (SNP), Family Health Plus (FHP) Buy-In, Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), and Non-PACE Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plans.
This dataset reflects institutional provider data.
Provider Network Data System information is self reported. For more information, go to http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/managed_care/.
